Je ne suis pas un homme je ne suis pas une femme je ne suis pas hétérosexuel je ne suis pas homosexuel je ne suis pas bisexuel. Je suis un dissident du système sexe-genre. Je suis la multiplicité du cosmos enfermée dans un régime politique et épistémologique binaire...Je n'apporte aucune nouvelle des marges. Je vous offre un morceau d'horizon.

L'année dernière, la Belkin Art Gallery a eu le plaisir d'acquérir The Time It Takes (2017), l'œuvre d'art pour adultes de Skeena Reece, pour notre collection permanente. À cette époque, Reece a déclaré qu'elle avait toujours voulu travailler avec le berceau pour créer une série de photographies qui documenteraient son emballage de personnes spécifiques dans le sac de mousse. Comme le décrit Reece, "Le sac est un endroit pour se reposer un instant, évoquant un sentiment de nostalgie, pas un sentiment de perte. Être enveloppé donne un sentiment d'apaisement qui suscite de l'espoir pour l'avenir et est un moyen de tenir les gens debout. L'œuvre a commencé comme une performance pour The Fraud That Goes Under the Name of Love, une exposition de groupe à la SFU Audain Gallery de Vancouver en 2016. Elle a ensuite été présentée au Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal pour l'exposition de groupe Piriti: Scène contemporaine autochtone en 2017. La pièce a évolué en une installation pour Oboro, Montréal (2017) et Plug In ICA, Winnipeg (2018) respectivement.

À partir de l’ethnographie de trois lieux ruraux (deux fermes et un gîte) tenus par des femmes lesbiennes et/ou queer qui s’inscrivent dans une critique écologiste et anticapitaliste de la société tout en questionnant les normes de genre et de sexualité, nous interrogerons la signification de ces choix de vie alternatifs au regard de l’identité des actrices et de la manière dont ils enrichissent la compréhension de la constellation des mouvements écoféministes. Nous observerons qu’avec le déplacement de la ville vers la campagne, et du monde salarié vers l’agriculture de subsistance, elles doivent mettre en place de nouvelles stratégies pour lutter contre l’isolement et s’intégrer localement. Simultanément, ce retour à la terre leur offre de nouvelles possibilités d’émancipation, d’engagement et de soutien aux femmes et aux minorités. Le travail agricole, l’engagement féministe et la politisation du quotidien constituent les différentes facettes d’un même projet : celui de chercher une voie plus juste et plus durable pour notre société.

Les mécanismes qui sous-tendent l'identification ou non d'une situation en tant que violence sexuelle influencent la façon de comprendre et de qualifier l'événement subi. Alors que des chercheur.es ont estimé la prévalence de la violence sexuelle malgré sa sous-déclaration, peu ont exploré le témoignage des personnes victimes, qu'elles nomment la situation comme relevant de la violence sexuelle ou non. En s'appuyant sur 24 7 récits qualitatifs, cette recherche propose une analyse des repères mobilisés par les étudiantes universitaires de premier cycle pour décrire la situation vécue, selon la perception de son caractère inacceptable ou non. Les objectifs sont 1) de décrire les repères interpellés dans la description des situations de violence sexuelle en milieu universitaire subies par les étudiantes universitaires de 1er cycle et 2) d'explorer de quelle façon les discours associés aux mythes et au script.liés aux violences sexuelles peuvent moduler la façon de qualifier les situations de violence sexuelle en milieu universitaire subies par ces étudiantes. Cette recherche adopte un cadre d'analyse féministe de la violence sexuelle basée sur les travaux de Romito (2006) et Harned (2005). Les résultats se déclinent en trois grandes catégories : des repères incitent l'identification du caractère inacceptable de la situation vécue, des caractéristiques de l'événement relèguent au second plan le caractère inacceptable de la situation vécue et une ambivalence peut s'immiscer dans la façon de qualifier l'événement subi. D'abord, la majorité des récits font état du caractère inacceptable de la situation, en se basant sur différents repères tels que l'absence de consentement sexuel, la répétition de comportements sexuels non-désirés ou les répercussions vécues à la suite de la violence sexuelle (n = 162). Ensuite, des récits (n = 79) dévoilent des qualifications qui freinent l'identification du caractère inacceptable de la situation, que ce soit par des termes reflétant une minimisation ou une banalisation des comportements subis ou par une tolérance à l'égard de ce type de situation. Enfin, la troisième catégorie met en lumière une ambivalence dans la façon de qualifier la situation de violence sexuelle subie (n = 6). Ces résultats peuvent inspirer la mise en place de stratégies. de prévention et d'intervention auprès de la population étudiante universitaire. _____________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Violence sexuelle; étudiantes; consentement sexuel; femmes; qualifications; université

A Victorian-inspired, deplumed, black mourning gown; a video of a kohl-painted eye, staring, blinking, and weeping; and a baritone voice mingling with solo piano are the audio and visual touchstones of Rufus Wainwright’s 2010 live tour of All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu. Using performance analysis of fan-captured performances posted on YouTube, this article argues that digital viewership queers, or alters, the audience’s experience, thus empowering spectators to engage with the emotional vulnerability, grief, and genre-bending of Lulu. For a work like Lulu, performed as a song cycle and without official music videos or a professional live recording, fan videos fill a void, at once cutting a major expense of the artist/label while empowering the audience to capture and share what they find to be meaningful online. In this study, four fan-captured live Lulu performances reveal moments of elision, uncertainty, and the blurring of the artist and the artist’s persona within digital “third space.” Through this lens, persona and grief are read within digital viewings of Wainwright’s live performances while framing online spectatorship as a queer practice of meaning-making.

Women’s work is a continuum that intersperses productive work with reproductive work, unpaid work with paid work and all kinds of activities with leisure and self-care. She plans, manages and implements her work at home, often being responsible for all the three domains. Women from working-class families may seem to be making a “choice” in deciding the continuum, and delving deep, we find that it is more often a “coping mechanism” in “managing poverty” of all forms—income, time and opportunity. This paper explores how women’s organisation of work is influenced by the interplay of three institutions—State, market and family, and how gendered division of work is reproduced in the process. © 2019, Indian Society of Labour Economics.

This article aims to assess the contention that a ‘feminist’ ideology is associated with a ‘cooling’ of intimacy in heterosexual relationships, as argued by scholars such as Arlie Hochschild and Eva Illouz. According to this thesis, such an ideology, ‘abducted’ by a commercial spirit, encourages women to disengage from warm intimate bonds with others and to prioritize their own personal fulfilment and parity in care and housework. Drawing on two qualitative empirical studies exploring couples’ intimate lives and their feminist and egalitarian preferences and practices in leave, care and housework, this article examines in detail the basis of this thesis, and its effectiveness in explaining the lived experiences of parent couples’ negotiations of this terrain. The data were collected through focus group discussions with parents not sharing leave and a detailed ethnography with couples sharing leave. The comparison shows that, far from observing a clear dichotomy between ‘cold’ feminists and ‘warm’ traditional couples, both sets of parents present a more complex picture of ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ relations. The analysis enables a critical appreciation of sociological theorizing about gender equality and intimacy, contributing to sociological debates around individualism, feminism and family life. © The Author(s) 2018.

Dans le débat public, être décolonial est une infamie. Dans les universités, dans les partis de gauche et d'extrême gauche, les syndicats, les associations féministes, partout on traque une "pensée décoloniale" infiltrée et funeste pour le vivre-ensemble. Dans ce livre, Françoise Vergès élucide l'objet du scandale. Le féminisme décolonial révèle les impensés de la bonne conscience blanche ; il se situe du point de vue des femmes racisées : celles qui, travailleuses domestiques, nettoient le monde ; il dénonce un capitalisme foncièrement racial et patriarcal. Ces pages incisives proposent un autre récit du féminisme et posent toutes les questions qui fâchent : quelles alliances avec les femmes blanches? Quelle solidarité avec les hommes racisés? Quelles sont les premières vies menacées par le capitalisme racial? Pourquoi les néofascismes s'attaquent-ils aux femmes racisées? Ce livre est une invitation à renouer avec la puissance utopique du féminisme, c'est-à-dire avec un imaginaire à même de porter une transformation radicale de la société.

In this formative qualitative research, we draw upon the concepts of structural vulnerability and structural competency to examine how transgender and gender non-conforming (TGGNC) patients and healthcare personnel experience service delivery in Emergency Departments (EDs), and how this experience can be improved upon. Between October 2016 and June 2017, we undertook 31 semi-structured interviews with TGGNC patients (n = 11) and physicians (n = 6), nurses (n = 7), and non-clinical staff (n = 7) in four community-based EDs in New Mexico. Our iterative coding and analysis process resulted in eight sets of findings: (1) reasons why TGGNC patients seek care from EDs; (2) perceptions about and experiences of TGGNC patients; (3) relevance of gender identity and sex at birth; (4) bureaucracy and communication; (5) spatial considerations; (6) preparing providers and staff to care for TGGNC patients; (7) the lack of resources for structural prescriptions; and (8) respect, humanity, and sameness. Findings suggest that structural issues adversely impact the health and wellbeing of TGGNC patients and service-delivery practices in the ED. We describe study implications for training ED personnel and modifying this practice setting to prevent delayed care and ensure appropriate services for TGGNC patients in need of structurally competent emergency medicine.

The World Bank Group’s Women, Business and the Law examines laws and regulations affecting women’s prospects as entrepreneurs and employees across 187 economies. Its goal is to inform policy discussions on how to remove legal restrictions on women and promote research on how to improve women’s economic inclusion. Women, Business and the Law 2019: A Decade of Reform introduces a new index measuring legal rights for women throughout their working lives in 187 economies. The index is composed of 35 data points grouped into eight indicators. The data covers a 10-year period not only to understand the current situation but to see how laws affecting women’s equality of opportunity have evolved over time. The index assesses economic rights at milestones spanning the arc of a woman’s working life: the ability to move freely; starting a job; getting paid; legal capacity within marriage; having children; running a business; managing assets; and getting a pension.

Demographic changes and rising health care demands are projected to drive the creation of 40 million new jobs by 2030 in the global health and social sector. In parallel, there is an estimated shortfall of 18 million health workers, primarily in low- and middle-income countries, required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage. The global mismatch between health worker supply and demand is both a cause for concern and a potential opportunity. Since women account for 70% of the health and social care workforce, gaps in health worker supply will not be closed without addressing the gender dynamics of the health and social workforce. The female health and social care workers who deliver the majority of care in all settings face barriers at work not faced by their male colleagues. This not only undermines their own well-being and livelihoods, it also constrains progress on gender equality and negatively impacts health systems and the delivery of quality care. In November 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Gender Equity Hub (GEH), co-chaired by WHO and Women in Global Health under the umbrella of the Global Health Workforce Network. The GEH brings together key stakeholders to strengthen gender-transformative policy guidance and implementation capacity for overcoming gender biases and inequalities in the global health and social workforce, in support of the implementation of the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030, and the Working for Health five-year action plan (2017–2021) of WHO, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In 2018, the GEH identified and reviewed over 170 studies in a literature review of gender and equity in the global health workforce, with a focus on four themes: occupational segregation; decent work free from bias, discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment; gender pay gap; and gender parity in leadership. This report will inform the next phase of the work of the Global Health Workforce Network GEH, which seeks to use these research findings to advocate gender-transformative policy and action.

Sociocultural linguists share with transgender communities a strong interest in the power of individuals to assert agency over linguistic patterns. For trans people, a key principle of activism is gender self-determination, which treats each individual as the ultimate authority on their own gender identity. This article explores some of the ways gender self-determination and self-identification surface in transgender people’s linguistic practices. Three particular manifestations are highlighted: gendered identity labels, third person pronouns, and body part terminology. The observations offered on these subjects are based on a series of ethnographic projects carried out from 2006–2016 in transgender communities across several metropolitan areas in the United States and in online spaces frequented by trans people. However, the analysis goes beyond mere description by treating this kind of individualized linguistic agency as the product of cultural practice rather than an asocial given. Such a perspective introduces questions concerning why this form of agency arose in the time and place that it has. This article frames gender self-identification as an enactment of neoliberal personhood, in which individuals are framed as the driver of their destiny. What the ideology of neoliberal agency obscures, however, is that agency is not an equally distributed resource.

Using a post-structural lens, I make arguments against homogenising people’s conditions and circumstances. In particular, I acknowledge that the post-1994 reform agenda intended to streamline the previously fragmented and segregated higher education landscape under the apartheid regime. Black women, who are the main target of this article suffered triple marginalisation ‒ race, social class and sexism. The aim of the article is to show the tensions that exist within the White Paper: A Programme for the Transformation of Higher Education (DoE 1997). The said tensions have stifled the attainment of gender equity and equality; effectively widening the gender fissures in post-1994 South African higher education. I argue that we should not take for granted phrases such as “equal opportunities” and “equal access” in policies. Instead, we should seek their meaning and achievement inter alia in earnest for the targeted group.Therefore, I postulate that gender and gendering is complex and very fragmented. For this reason, formulating transformation interventions on the premise of equality for all does not necessarily guarantee gender equality or gender equity. With this in mind, a “one-size fits all” approach to redressing gender equality is implausible and does not suffice in addressing salient gender injustices. I propose a multifaceted approach, which encompasses a realistic and holistic outlookon the divergent needs of black women in particular and women in general as a possible solution to the current challenges.

Les figures trans sont partout. Dans les clips, la mode, les séries, les faits divers… Pourtant, cette visibilité ne s’accompagne pas toujours d’une plus grande acceptation. Tour à tour caricaturé, psychiatrisé, dans le meilleur des cas ignoré, dans le pire rejeté, le fait transidentitaire pose problème. A l’image de l’homosexualité, les peurs et les tabous demeurent. C’est sur la base de ce constat que ce livre propose un bilan des savoirs sur « les » questions trans, en insistant sur les différents fronts, de l’espace médical à l’espace social, en passant par les arènes juridiques et scientifiques. Laissant de côté la question du « pourquoi » (« pourquoi est-on trans ? » ou « pourquoi le devient-on ? »), l’auteur s’intéresse à la question du « comment » et des logiques sociales à l’œuvre dans les controverses transidentitaires.

Women have been active as performers of instrumental music since the Medieval period, and yet their contributions are often overlooked. This dissertation examines the history of women’s orchestras outside the United States, and explores their development, as well as reasons for existing. Several factors regarding their development are taken into consideration, including time period, country, and culture in which the ensemble is present. The birth of the women’s orchestra is traced from the ospedali of the 18th century Venice to today. All-female ensembles from England, Canada, Cuba, and Afghanistan are profiled, as well as the Women’s Orchestra in Auschwitz. Two modern-day women’s orchestras – the Allegra Chamber Orchestra in Vancouver, British Columbia, and my recital orchestra at the University of Maryland – were surveyed in an attempt to learn more about the culture of women’s orchestras. This paper seeks to answer the questions “What is the culture of women's orchestras today, and should they continue to exist?”
